Who knows, but it did coincide with the first comments from this bit of political banter hitting the wires (via Bloomberg):

The current tax code is “overly complex,” and Congress has an opportunity to fundamentally rethink it, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says in opening floor comments.

  • Says he expects bill to move through committees this fall through regular order with participation from Democrats and Republicans; bill will then get consideration on House and Senate floor
  • McConnell says there is still more work to be done on nominees before the Senate breaks for recess
  • Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer says McConnell’s use of the reconciliation process to advance tax reform will shut out Democrats and close the door on bipartisanship
    • Says he fears Republicans’ main goal is to cut taxes for the wealthiest
  • Separately, Schumer says Democrats will outline principles on trade policy later this morning
